Description:
ellybands, also commonly referred to as waist bands, book bands, sleeve bands, or wrap-around bands, are versatile packaging and decorative accessories widely used in various industries. These names vary based on their specific application scenarios and regional usage habits. For example, in the publishing industry, they are often called "book bellybands" when used on books, while in the gift and cosmetics sectors, they may be referred to as "gift wrap bands" or "product sleeve bands" due to their packaging functions.
Applications:
For gift packaging, they serve as an elegant decorative element, wrapping around gift boxes to enhance the sense of ritual and luxury, and can also be printed with greeting words or brand logos for personalized customization.
In the cosmetics and food industries, bellybands are utilized to bundle product sets, such as skincare kits or snack combinations, facilitating product display and sales while providing additional space for printing product details and promotional information.
Additionally, they are widely used in the stationery and electronics sectors to package small items like notebook sets and earphone boxes, ensuring product integrity and improving the overall appearance.
Specifications:
The core specifications and parameters of bellybands are tailored to their intended uses. Regarding size, common widths range from 3cm to 10cm, and lengths vary according to the items they wrap, typically between 15cm and 30cm for standard book or gift box applications. Material options are diverse, including high-quality kraft paper for an eco-friendly and minimalist look, glossy art paper for a more vibrant and attractive finish, and PE or PP plastic materials for waterproof and durable needs. Thickness is another key parameter, with paper bellybands usually ranging from 80gsm to 150gsm, while plastic ones have a thickness of 0.1mm to 0.3mm. Printing parameters also matter, as they can support full-color offset printing, digital printing, or hot stamping processes to achieve different decorative effects. Some high-end bellybands may also have additional features such as die-cutting, embossing, or matte lamination to enhance their texture and visual appeal.

Plate Making/Proofing
Before printing, the plate must be made first, and then the plate is put into the printing machine so that the desired content can be printed. Plate making is the process of converting graphic information in the computer into a medium usable for printing. Currently, the mainstream plate making method is Computer To Plate (CTP).
Printing
With CTP, machine printing can be carried out. Printing is divided into "offset printing" and "UV printing".Offset printing is a type of planographic printing. Simply put, offset printing is a printing method that transfers the graphics and text on the printing plate to the substrate with the help of rubber cloth (blanket). It is precisely because of the existence of the blanket that this printing method gets its name.UV printing is a technology that uses ultraviolet radiation to quickly cure printing ink.
Surface Treatment
It is divided into oil coating, gluing, paper lamination, die-cutting, and box gluing. The gluing process is to cover a layer of film on the paper card, which can be seen by tearing it open; oil coating is just to cover a layer of oil that increases glossiness, which plays a role in protecting the printed surface.Paper lamination: The top paper and the bottom are glued together;Die-cutting: Cutting is carried out by making a die-cutting rule according to the pre-designed graphics.Box gluing: The process of gluing a single-piece paper box into a folding paper box.
Packaging & Logistics
The final process after box gluing, including quality inspection, and packaging, loading, and delivery according to customer requirements.
